CAL Section 13: A Zig and A Zag Afghan

A Zig and A Zag CAL

Section 13: Zig Zag stitch

Hooray!!! This is our LAST section before we start the border of your amazing projects.  I seriously am so excited to see photos of all your hard work!  This week, we are working the fun Zig Zag stitch and you'll be done in a jiffy.  This stitch would be pretty leaves when working in fall colors or fairy wings in pastels.  I can even picture them in green and adding an apple applique underneath them for a fun accent.  Imagine the possibilities!
